About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit and experience as much as possible. I want to creat memories of people and places. Remember things I have done and who I did it with. Food and experiences that will come back later in life. I want to go Zip Line

ABOUT ME

Adventurous and a lot spontaneous., , easy to get along with. Live and let live, enjoy the life...it is short. ..if things take time than take the time..If it is something you want to do
...Something I do not enjoy is people thinking that because I am female and single traveling that Im looking for a love filled relationship. I am not, I am content to be on my own, but I am looking for friendships that will carry me till Im old and grey. Lol. I can be a good friend and I believe that is the way to get good friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you want to do and dont step back if you can see a way to do it. No regrets Respect others as you want them to treat and respect you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can enjoy anything...cup of tea, glass of wine...big bed or a piece of floor, will not engage in an argument. Willing to do others suggestions. If you dont want to lead, stand aside I will.
Every culture is different and Americans are not much for hugs and kisses till we know you. I am trying to learn more about this but want my intentions to be known that there is nothing hidden. I am just happy to see you and my friendship is real

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hope to be an expert after this trip and wish I knew about it when I went to EU. I am able to host people in three different states. Hope to do that soon.
So far in finding couches in SA. I find I need to be on my guard for people who are not what they say. Trust is what is needed. I do not know much Spanish but have Google translate.

Interests

I am retired and enjoy traveling as far as the dollar will take me.
Spend 3 months watching my grandkids in Texas
Also care for my mother when possible in Michigan. Im looking forward to having CS and helping them explor the US

Teach, Learn, Share

English and traditions is what I can pass along with knowledge of many other places.
